I Editorial State Convention. Agreeably to a call published generally in the Democratic newspapers of the State, a Convention of the Democratic editors oE Pennsylvania met in the Senate Chamber of the Capital atllarrisburg, at8i o'clock, A. M., on Wednesday, tho 17th inst. On motion, the Convention was orga nized by the appoiutmcnt of Hon. George Sanderson, of Lancaster, President; Col onel Levi L. Tate, of Columbia county, and General James P. Darr, of Allegheny county, Tice Presidents, and Thomas ,T. nam, Esq., of Wayne county, Secretary. Mr. Sanderson, on taking tho chair, briefly addressed tho Coavention as fol lows : Gentlemen of the Convention : I thank you heartily for tho honor you havo just conferred upon me, in selecting mo to pre side over the deliberations of this body, and it gives me pleasure to say that tho Democratic editors of Pennsylvania con stitute a body of men with whom I am proud to bo associated. Gentlemen, the power of the press, at all times important, is ono which, at this time, is fraught with vast importanoo to tho pcoplo of our Commonwealth, It is emphatically the fourth power in the State. Tho Legislative, tho Exccutivo and tho Judiciary coustituto the three powers, but the press, and especially the Democratic press, is more potent than cither, or all combined, inasmuch as it can mako and unmake Legislators,Govcrnors and Judges, and is the "power behind the throne grea ter than the throne itsolf." Frco speech and a froo press tho right to speak, write and publish to the world our honest opin ions arc cardinal principles in the creed of every frco American citizen, whether i naturalized or to tho manor born a right "inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only'' which, cbmo weal or woe, can never be surrendered to tho dictum of tyrants and dictators whether in power or out of power. Thcso aro my honest sen timents, freely espressed, and I feel sure that, at the same time, I am giving uttcr- anco to tho sentiments of all my brethren of the Dcmocratio press, when I say that, como weal or woe, in adversity' or prosper ity, we shall claim this liberty at tho risk of our lives. We aro in tho midst of exciting and terrible events ; but wo must not falter in the bold ami faithful disohargc of our duty as conservators of tho Ropublic. It is truo tho second reign of terror is upon us, yet more fearful and tyranioal than tho first reign of terror during tho adminis tration of tho cldor Adams ; but wo must not quail bcloto tho minions of despotism Tho Qucou of England could not retain her throne for twcnty.four hours, if sho attempted to suspend tho writ of habeas corpus, prevent tho right of the press to criticise tho acls of hor government, or suppress tho freedom of speech. And shall we, in this frco Stato of Pennsylva nia, havo loss liberty than thoy. Shall wo basely bow the knee to tho iron heal of despotism, and confess ourselves to bo un worthy of the glonoui heritage of free doin bequeathed to us, under tho blessings , of Heaven, from our natriot forefathers I . No, novcr never is the response in ovcry Iruo-hcartcd Amorican bosom. Tho De mocracy, as ono man, givo an indignat negativo to tho interrogation, and tho con servative portion of our Republican frisnds tako up tho foarlcss response and say nov cr no, never ! Gentlemen of tho Dcmocratio press, wo have an important duty to perform in this alarming crisis of our public affairs. Tho Convention to-day will place candidates in the field, who must bo elected, or all will bo lost. If wo dischargo our duty faith fully they shall bo triumphantly elected, and our noblo old Commonwealth will stand forth to tho admiring gaze of tho world, ''redeemed, regenerated and dis enthralled" from tho tyranny that sur rounds us. Some of us, In tho past two years, have boon threatened with personal violcnco; others havo been ruthlessly dragged from their homes and imprisoned, and others again have had thoir printing presses and typo destroyed by a cowardly Abolition mob. But these thiiif3 aro of tho past, and thoy will not dare to repeat them when wo elect a Democratic Gover nor, who will not only protect the rights of tho Stato against Federal aggression, but tho constitutional rights of every citi zen in tho broad limits of the Common wealth. Let us be firm, therefore, i:i dis charge of the duties devolving upon us, and a brighter day will dawn upon our be loved country on the second Tuesday of October next. Again thanking you, gsntlcmcn, lor tho i honor you have conferred upon mo, I shall desist from any furthor remarks, so that tho Convention may proceed with the business which called it together." At tho conclusion of his remarks, which were repeatedly greeted with applause, tho Secretary was directed to record the names of such Democratic editors as were present, together with the several journals repre sented by them.

After which tho Convention adjourned to meet at the call of tho Chairman of tho Convention. The Executive Committee organized by electing Hon. James P. Barr, President, and Henry Ward, Secretary. The Difference. During the war of 1812, which was prosecuted by tho Administration of Jas. Madison, tho federal party wcro very bit tor and fierce in their denunciations of the war and tho President. Thpy throw ob stacles of every description in the way of tho government to prevent the war from being brought to an honorable conclusion, and rendered all tho "aid and comfort" they could to the British. Especially was this tho case in the New England States, which now claim to possess moro than their share of what they term ''loyalty.'' Tho Hanks of Boston did all they could to embarrass tho government in its financial operations and succeeded in filling the nation with bankruptcy and ruin. Blue lights were displayed by thcso British sympathizers to notify tho enemy of tho movements of our vessels, and tho Legis latures of some of the New England States openly refused to support somo of the most important war measures. Tho federal presses, too, denounced tho war as infa mous and unjust. Yet who over heard of any man being arrested at that time for expressing his opinions on tho polioy of Mr. Joflcrson's administration I To come down to later period. In 1817 tho Whig party opposed tho Mexican war, Iloraco Greeley calling our soldiers "journeymen cut-throats," and Thomas Corwin hoping that they might bo mot "with bloody hands and welcomed to hos pitable graves." For all this and more, not a single man was ever thrcatctiod, insulted or deprived of his liberty. No newspa per was suppressed during tho glorious administration of President Polk, and tho freedom of speech was uncurtailed. Yet now under this Bo-callcd Republican adminis tration, all is changed. Frco press and frco discussion aro prohibited as far possi ble, and bars, bolts, dungeons, bastilcs, &c, arc tho punishment for exorcising them 1 Tho journal that dares to question tho wisdom of Lincoln's polioy, is suppres sed by somo such military tyrant as Burn - bide aud the office seized by armed soldiery But thank God, a spirit of resistance is moving tho pcoplo ovory whero to fight this species of tyrunny with its own weapons, and tho Constitutional rights of tho pcoplo must and shall be respected.

RICHARDS nominated It. BRUCE PETRIKIN. Mr. CAM PBELL nominated GEORGE W. NE BINE KG, Mr. NOON nominated W3I. KETTLE. of Cambria county. A voto on tho substitution of Mr. Ket tle was taken, and tho Chair announced tho substitute as lost. On tho motion to substituto Mr. Neb- ingcr for Mr. Petrikin, tho voas and nays wcro caiieu, auu were taken with the fol lowing result : ayes, (for Nebingcr,) 75 ; noes, (for Petrikin,) CO. Wm. II. Butler, of Carbon, was then chosen temporary Secretary. Messrs. Win. Kettlo and R. Bruce Potrikin was thereupon appointed to con duct tho temporary President to tho chair. On taking the chair, Mr. MEB1NGER was greeted with cheers and applauses. He said : Gentleman of tho Democratio Conven tion, I thank you kindly for the high hon or uou have been pleased to confer upon mo, and I shall endeavor, to tho best of my ability, to dischargo tho temporary duties imposed upon mo to your entire satisfaction. A motion was mado that tho printed list bo taken to call tho ayes and noes. Hon. CHARLES L. LAMBERTON moved to amend to rcccivo it, except when thorc were objections, in which case tho contestants shall both show thoir creden tials. This amendment was accepted by tho mover, and agreed to by tho Conven tion. LEWIS C, CASSIDAY moved that the gentlemen now acting as secretaries, (Messrs. J. Barr, E. Karns and Wm H Butler,) continuo so to act until a perma nent organization be effected. Agreed to. Somo disoussion took place relative to contested scats, when it was decided t0 pass them over for tho present. The credentials of mombcrs wcro then received. Mr IIAGENMAN that a eommittoo of ono from each Senatorial district bo ap pointed to select a permanent President. Mr PETRIKIN moved to amend by electing a permanent President at onoc. Mr NOON moved to elect Mr Hughes by acclamation. lion F W HUGHES said that ho should deelino the honor. Thcra was no voto upon tho motion of Mr Noon. Hon PHILIP JOHNSON was in favor of adhering to tho custom of referring tho choice to a committee. Mr. KAMERLEY said : In peculiar times liko these this Convention ought to bo satisfied in detail. I know it has been heretofore tho custom that the permaucnt organization has been rofcrrcd to a com mittee. But circumstances alter cases. Every member of this Convention should havo tho right of oxprcssiou upon this floor; that tho privilege shall be uniform and universal, extended to every body, and thcrcforo it is tho province of ovcry man in this chamber to cast his vote for tho permanent organization. It is our duty under tho circumstances to forego precedent. I agree with tho gentleman from Huntingdon that wo should present a direct vote upon tho question. He was opposed to secrecy. Tho principles of tho Convention should receivo tho consider ation bf'all. Mr PETRIKIN, to avoid furthor de bate, withdrow his proposition. Mr Soaright wanted to know if ho was to bo allowed a voice in this Convention. Ho mado numerous vain attempts to at tract attention from tho Chair.
